Will dependents counted in quota for ITA?

[canadadreamming]

Some people told me average application include 1 main applicant plus 4 dependents. If that is the case, for 3000 applications per month selected we will have 15,000 deducted from quota. Given that quota is 250,000, then CIC need to issue at least 4100 ITA a month. So far they only issued about 4000 ITAs for 3 months!

Hi

The target for EE is nowhere near 250,000. Only FSP, CEC and some (presumably small) portion of the PNPs are administered via EE.

You ask a good question though. Most people assume that the targets refer to principal applicants only, but I have not seen conclusive proof on the official CIC website that this is the case.

If anyone has verified information, please post it here.

1, Targets are principals and dependents

Yes , Can anyone prove your thought with web link in reliable source ? . Otherwise anyone can say whatever thought comes to their mind and it's misleading.

I'm quite amused at the idea of PMM saying what ever thought comes to mind & being misleading . However, I digress. Here's the link:

I quote from the report:

The economic class includes skilled workers, provincial nominees, business immigrants, live-in caregivers, and the Canadian Experience Class, as well as members of their immediate family.
